Galley, master bedroom, full bath with tub and shower, second bedroom with twin beds
This 1987 Hilburn 60 is a houseboat located in Natchitoches, La.
At approximately 60' long and a 14' beam, this boat is well suited for bigwater or small lakes, and witha durable aluminum hull, the ride is terrific according to the seller.
This model offers a blank canvas for you to customize, but it has already undergone many improvements and upgrades.
The floor plan is roomy enough to be a great live-aboard option, with a front salon that opens onto a large front porch with an overhang for great shade.
The galley kitchen is large and features a residential stove and oven, a residential refrigerator, and tons of counter space.
There is a forward cabin with two twin beds, and this area also houses the stacked washer and dryerand lavatory.
Moving to the aft section of the boat, you will find a large stateroom with great natural light from multiple windows, patio access to the rear deck, and a master bathroom with a newer macerator toilet and a full-sized combination bathtub and shower.
Outside, the top deck has had its superstructure removed, but the seller still has the parts available and has added a nice railing around the top. This area is really a blank canvas for furniture, or you could do what the seller intended: add a robust solar panel system for extended off-grid capabilities.
Maneuverability has been greatly improved by the addition of a starboard-mounted bow thruster, making docking easier.
The rear deck provides easy access to the bilge and engine areas, housing two V8 engines.
Other nice improvements include recent bilge pumps and a power management system.
This boat will need to be moved from its current location because the seller sailed in from South Louisiana, and the body of water the boat is stored on connects directly to the Red River.
If you are looking for a family-friendly houseboat option with tons of upgrade potential, this is a solid platform to consider.
While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.
Condition:
The upper helm station is still there but is not operational.
The exterior of the boat has been sanded and readied for new paint on the fiberglass areas.
The seller recently recoated and resealed the top deck with an RV roof sealant, and it looks very good.
As with all our listings, we recommend conducting your own inspection prior to making your final purchase decision.
